Best Californian Restaurants in Irving Park

First time trying the Aba Happy hour food! The spreads sampler gave us a chance to try them all and the Crispy chicken had the perfect crispy skin and heat from the different peppers! Falafels and shrimp were really good. Carrot cake was overly spiced and a bit dry so going to skip that next time!

Oakville Grill and Cellar: A Perfect Night Out My experience at Oakville Grill and Cellar was nothing short of amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—I couldn’t get enough of the hamachi crudo. Every bite felt like it was made with care and top-quality ingredients. The service truly stood out. Our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They even helped us pick the perfect wine to go with our meal, which took the experience to another level. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and service that makes you feel like a VIP, Oakville Grill and Cellar is it. I’m already planning my next visit!

Ēma offers a vibrant menu filled with delicious cold and hot mezzes, fresh salads, and expertly grilled kebabs. The ambiance is serene and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual and celebratory meals. Service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall delightful experience.

Great service from each staff member including the hosts, waitress, and the person who bussed our table. They handled a busy lunch rush with ease and efficiency. Also, the food was top notch.
